My head in the clouds
My feet on the ground
Wishing I could fly away
And never be found

I love the world I live in
Its beauty and its pain
From the people who reside here
To the falling of the rain

But there are times that reality
becomes too much to bear
So I slip into my stories
Where I am without a care

Because the words on the page
That I read and I write
Those are the things
That let me take flight

I'm considering publishing this in my school newspaper. What do you think?
